Kym Christopher Nyenhuis, 35, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday to drug trafficking, after police found a significant amount of meth in a ute.

The court previously heard Nyenhuis was sleeping in the driver seat on June 7 in Smithfield.

When officers checked on the vehicle’s identification number it was found to have been reported stolen.

“Police found two glass pipes, five sleeves of prescription medication, 10 suboxone films, five unknown tablets, two plastic bags containing 22 grams of methamphetamine, two bottles containing 45mls of butenadiol, two sets of scales and a number of plastic bags containing methylamphetamine,” the police prosecutor said.

Nyenhuis is yet to enter a plea to other charges arising from the alleged incident, including possessing a prohibited weapon, driving and damaging a vehicle without consent and possessing prescription drugs.

The Gawler West construction worker will appear for those offences later this month in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court.

Nyenhuis experienced a drug addiction relapse after a close friend died, the court heard.
